GMO Internet’s Cryptocurrency Mining Business Develops 12 nm FFC Process Technology for Semiconductor Chips: Progressing towards realizing a cutting-edge 7 nm process technology for mining chips.

January 22, 2018 in Tokyo, Japan company GMO Internet’s (https://www.gmo.jp/en/ ) which is new cryptocurrency mining business, is currently developing cutting-edge 7 nm*1 process technologies for chips to be used in the mining process.

They are currently jointly working on research and development with alliance partner who possesses semiconductor design technology to realize next-generation mining board, a high-performance computer for mining!

They had succeeded in developing a new 12 nm FFC*2 process based mining chip (12 nm FFC mining chip). The following outcomes have been obtained, which are significant milestones as they show that thye are closer to realizing a 7 nm process technology for chips to be used in the mining process.

1. Prior to the development of a 7 nm process technology, validation of SHA256*3 logic circuit is complete.
2. They had succeeded in developing 12 nm semiconductor mining chip, a cutting-edge ASIC*4 mining hardware.

Cutting-edge 7 nm process technology for chips will be used in the mining process, and GMO Internet will continue to work on research and development, using the next-generation mining boards in the mining process in the first half of 2018.
